Could you please help me with the two sentences? Which one is correct? In the sentence 2, is the former sentence is a negative one and the latter must be positive?


  1. You were unbelievable with his story, weren't you?
  2. You were unbelievable with his story, were you?
 
Who wrote those sentences, Son Ho?

If you wrote them yourself, why?
 
I'm sorry. I would like to write another two sentences instead with the same questions.

1. It is impossible, isn't it?
2. It is impossible, is it?
 
Again:

  1. You were unbelievable with his story, weren't you?
  2. You were unbelievable with his story, were you?
Neither makes sense. Maybe you mean: You didn't believe his story, did you?

1. It is impossible, isn't it?
2. It is impossible, is it?

Please start a new thread for this new question, and be sure to answer my questions in post #3.

  1. You were unbelievable with his story, weren't you?
  2. You were unbelievable with his story, were you?

What is unbelievable - you or the story?

Perhaps you could say:
You could/did not believe his story, did you?
You find his story unbelievable, didn't you?

I noted them down from an English workbook. I didn't write it myself. I just want to know if the first sentence in sentence 2 is negative or positive.
